his is heavily inspired by Sintra, a beautiful area near Lisbon (about
30min away from where I live). A lot of trips during my childhood to
this real place certainly infused my love for fantasy. If you ever come
to Portugal you have to visit it (Google it)...By the way, one of the
settings in the (awesome) movie "The Ninth Gate" featuring Johnny Depp,
plays in one of these chalets, very typical in Sintra...(again...google
it...)
